SAN FRANCISCO, September 23, 2014 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development, announced today the keynote speakers and program agenda for ApacheCon and the CloudStack Collaboration Conference Europe. ApacheCon takes place November 17-21, 2014 in Budapest, Hungary. CloudStack Collaboration Conference takes place November 19-21, 2014 in the same location.
ApacheCon Europe sessions will cover some of today’s hottest open source projects, including Apache projects Cassandra, Cordova, CloudStack, CouchDB, Geronimo, Hadoop, Hive, HTTP Server, Lucene, OpenOffice, Struts, Subversion and Tomcat, among others. ApacheCon brings together more than 100 Apache Software Foundation project communities as well as other open source projects across multiple sectors in one venue.
